Tahu still looking for a club

Despite a falling out during State of Origin last year, Timana Tahu called upon Andrew Johns’ help.

Johns called his mates at the Knights and pleaded Tahu’s case. This is a chance to pick up a quality State of Origin player cheap, is along the lines of what he said. But the Knights had their concerns.

Johns also called Knights coach Rick Stone. For one reason or another, Newcastle closed the door on the offer.

It is understood the Wests Tigers, Sydney Roosters and Cronulla Sharks were on Tahu’s radar.

Yesterday, Roosters coach Brian Smith said his club was not interested, as previously rumoured.
